Here we go again...

If you like to hear the story of traveling in railways today, here it is.

Woke up at 6.20am feeling tired, but helped with morning coffee and a couple of small sandwiches.
A new layer of pure snow was thickening outdoors, a small cute new migratory bird Robin had just arrived into our garden. It stood on the small pile of snow and looked around. It had 10 caffinches with him.
I hope they all like sunflower seeds, that I threw all over the snow less parts of the garden.

7.20 am: I had walked through the snowy street to the bus stop, to catch the 8.02 train. I must admit that almost 10cm layer of snow made my mind down...

8.02 am: the train did not leave. It was somewhere only coming to the station. The problem was slow speed. I wonder why...

8.28 am: finally the train was at the station and ready to leave to Helsinki.

No wlan access to the internet for my computer until at Tikkurila, but I could make some work via mobile phone..

After works in Helsinki I ordered return ticket and what I got into the email, was strange swahili, not a ticket.
I tried to ask about a new ticket from Finnish railways customer services, but apparently they had some other customers too... Waiting on the phone line I stepped into a bus and drove to railway station. As I checked the ticket again (still on the line), it had changed to an almost normal ticket...

15.30 pm: on the platform no train coming... No departure time told either, engine motor problems. After waiting 20minutes the departure time was told and finally the train was late only 25minutes. Cool wind +1c.

I had time to Blip Pasila traffic to you...

Finally on the way back the wlan systems did work to Hämeenlinna. After that there only was snow in the air. Nothing else. I decided to take a nap. I hope that I did not snore too much, but the traveler against me in the train wagon (Hjallis Harkimo ) started to stare at me... :/

18.25pm back home. Hungry and feeling cold...
